It has always been said that Brazil is a spectacular country with countless beach destinations where you can enjoy a dream vacation. It is clear that the best known city is Rio de Janeiro, but in its surroundings there are also many places that are worth visiting. Precisely in the state that bears the name of the capital there is another city that I would love to recommend to you today and that is called Buzios .
Buzios is just under 200 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro, so it is a good option to spend a day on an excursion and visit it as it has many interesting things. Formerly it was a fishing village , but over time it has become an important tourist destination, although that has not lost its charm or the tranquility that you can find there.
It is a small city that has about 20,000 inhabitants but that offers spectacular beaches, as well as a natural beauty that is mixed with architecture and that gives rise to a very beautiful landscape. The only downside to its beaches, if it is a downside, is that the water is very cold, sometimes too cold, although the weather is excellent most of the year, so as it will be very hot, it won’t be so noticeable.
Tourists come to Buzios from all over the world to enjoy a very small but also very cosmopolitan city that has a lot to offer. Its urban development has not taken its toll, something that unfortunately does happen in other places, and that is that there is a special regulation so that no building can alter the landscape. For example, no building can be taller than two stories and you have to use rustic materials so that all buildings look pretty and charming.
In Rua das Pedras , one of the most famous streets in the center of the city, is where you will find a greater number of shops, bars and restaurants. A very curious little square where there is a statue of Bridgitte Bardot with which you can photograph yourself in a very nice way.
